October 2018
On the 19 June, the Research Assessment Commission's committee dealing with the Social Sciences endorsed the amendment of the criteria for the issuance of preliminary reports for tenure-eligible lecturers and for research accreditation and advanced research accreditation. The changes will come into effect with the second call for applications in 2019. The changes deal essentially with a new classification for contributions in the form of articles.
The new proposed classification for contributions in the form of articles is as follows:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Level A | For all fields of knowledge in the Social Sciences: JCR Q1, JCR Q2; Scopus Q1 (SJR) For the field of Law: CARHUS A |
Level B | For all fields of knowledge in the Social Sciences: JCR Q3; Scopus Q2 (SJR) For the field of Law: CARHUS B |
Level C | For all fields of knowledge in the Social Sciences: JCR Q4; Scopus Q3 (SJR) For the field of Law: CARHUS C |
The updated version of the criteria will be published shortly on the AQU Catalunya website.
